GMP agreed to allow the cameras in to allow people to experience life on the frontline of keeping the county safe. From domestic disputes to burglaries, antisocial behaviour to drink driving it is an in-depth look at the challenges faced on a daily basis.
Deputy Chief Constable Ian Hopkins said: “We offered unprecedented access to every area of our work, showing the relentless demand and vastly complex nature of policing in 2015.
“Everyday our officers and staff work hard to keep the people of Greater Manchester safe but with fewer officers and further reductions planned we have to work closer with partner agencies and local people.
“I hope that the insight provided by The Force: Manchester will show how crucial this support is for us and the future of Greater Manchester.”
